Portable document format or .PDF for short is a universal file format developed by Adobe Systems to preserve all fonts, formatting, graphics, and colors of any source document. PDF allows any file to be read by the Acrobat reader regardless of the hardware or software platform on which the file was created.

Trapping digital files is the process of compensating for misregistration on the printing press by printing small areas of overlapping color where objects meet. This is best left to the prepress department.

Yes, we can accept press-ready PDF files, including PDF/X-1a files. In fact, in many cases, we prefer them because we’re able to process your job right away, without much of the setup required for native files!
